Lol, okay tool

Yeah its totally on Rockstar for not releasing a trailer faster, and totally not on this author going in HARD on the negativity and skepticiam before even seeing a trailer, and then having to paste in the press release and trailer what, a half hour to an hour later? Cant wait for accuracy! Gotta get those knee jerk…

Thatd be fine if hed made the comment when the actual trailer was out to even look at. But he didnt. He just auto-whined without seeing the final product. And again, like you, made a point about mods out there that make the entire game look and function like a modern title to the extent this remaster does when you…

Dont worry, the mods that look better than this dont exist, or if they did, they ran on a gutted version of the game with just a map, driving physics, and no AI. Please ignore. 

I know, you were too busy being like "$60?! For 3 games that'll take you a hundred hours to beat?! And what about that development house in charge of the port? They've made good ports before but, cmon, you really think those guys are gonna be good? Whoof! 45gb for 3 games I already stated will have hi res textures and…

The whole tone of this article is so unnecessarily negative. Someone piss in your cereal this morning?

Not to disagree with the spirit of the article, which I do agree with, but why ask a question like this?:

A strawman is often called such not just because people are attributing an argument someone didnt make onto them, but also because the point theyre projecting doesn’t actually happen with any frequency that it would be considered a prevalent enough phenomenon to actually take into account seriously. People arent…

This comment is the perfect example of how Kotaku, its writers, and its ardent defenders, see themselves - that 99% of other people are dumbasses. And this pompousness is evident even in their "aplogy". 

Then... Why make a teardown video... If you dont want people to... Tear it down? 

“This led to situations where players dressed as Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty were dancing around in the virtual DC’s Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool while Martin Luther King, JR’s speech played in the background. Not great!”

Because Fortnite is a more interesting avenue for learning for some kids than story time with the parents 

“After months of rumors and speculation, Kotaku has learned from sources that Rockstar Games may be remastering three classic Grand Theft Auto games.”

These QA people should make more. Your wife should make more. You should make more. I should make more. Middle Class America as a whole should make more. Its a systemic problem. 

Sexualizing women to appeal to a largely male demographic is exactly what these companies do. You arent coming at them with some facts they didn’t know wheb you say other ages and genders play their games. Sure they do, but the majority of women who play games dont play “core” games. They play phone games like match 3…

Hey Mike! It seems pretty strange that, in writing an article about a new Engine and how its boring because it uses a white guy model and as an industry we have a history of such demos using white folks as the default character, how you decided to omit the very recent history of a different trailer for this very…

Then you’ll be happy to know that they also put out a trailer showing multiple ethnicities and genders using this same engine to go alongside this trailer very recently! Its almost like the article is purposefully ignoring the existence of that trailer to make his point about “oh another bro white guy tech demo”

Games take a very long time to make. The racial reckoning weve gone through over the last decade is going to take a while to bear fruit in our media. All the grizzled white dudes you point out are in games from years ago, that were in development for years before that. What you saw at E3 this year was a much more…

Taking references to the dude out of the game is absolutely necessary, but the fact they didnt YET isnt really something to be that upset about considering all this stuff just unfolded and is still unfolding in real time and maybe they... Havent gotten to it yet? 

Even if he isn’t playing Tommy, he might give Luna, and the rest of the cast, some insights for what the team was going for with the original production they can incorporate or use to color their performances.
